 * Symbol question.svg The article is most interesting, long enough and new enough. Most of the hook is fine too, but I just don't like the statement that SC "has been compared with Al-Qaeda" when the article merely states that SC is "Videogames journalism's answer to Al-Qaeda." Not the same thing at all in my opinion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:08, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that the Al Qaeda quote is a little ambiguous, as was the original source. Not sure myself whether they saying he's like them or not. How about..

 * ALT2 ... that controversial journalist and game designer Stuart Campbell was called a "bastard" in the advertising campaign for The Chaos Engine, and is now a well-known figure in the Scottish Independence debate? -- Hillbillyholiday talk 14:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
